"I wasn't really busy, but the offers that came my way were not much exciting. I decided not to work instead of just doing anything. I decided to wait and spend time with myself. The break happened by chance. It was not something I had planned, but I welcomed it," Aftab told IANS.

Aftab made his acting debut with 1999 film Mast. With around 40 films to his credit, he started fading away from the screen sometime back.
